Bretforton, 22 June 2008

When Rhubarb Tarts went down to Foxtrot with Foxs Morris at Bretforton (near Evesham), many of the dancers and musicians went to a session at the Fleece. It was there, fuelled by some excellent real ale, that the idea was conceived... we'd dance to Alison's (from Foxs) fantastic voice and Nigel (Landlord of the Fleece) would dance with us. And here it is — College Hornpipe with a difference — not to the usual tune and slightly slower than usual (... and with a howling gale in the background).
